Semi-Grade 1 was already an extremely high honor among Jujutsu High students. It meant one's strength had been recognized by the mainstream circle, and one could independently take on the vast majority of high-difficulty missions.
Many sorcerers spent their entire lives without ever reaching that threshold.
Faced with this sudden "promotion," Lu Ping's expression remained as placid as an ancient well.
He knew his own strength all too well.
After undergoing a major overhaul of the cursed technique circuits within his body, modifying the "Ten Shadows" into a pure "Shadow Technique," and completing his combat system, his actual combat strength had already reached—or even surpassed—that level.
The only reason he still bore the Grade 2 title was that he had entered the profession too recently and had not completed the grading process.
In the Jujutsu World, strength was the true hard currency.
Ratings were merely byproducts that came after one's strength reached a certain level.
It was like being a max-level powerhouse: even if you wore beginner gear, you could still slap a BOSS to death.
Lu Ping naturally asked in return:
"I remember that Jujutsu High's rule is that after being recommended, you need to independently handle a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit mission before the rating is officially completed?"
His tone was steady, as though he were asking about an ordinary teaching procedure.
Suguru Geto smiled faintly, showing his appreciation for Lu Ping's composure.
As expected of fresh talent even Satoru had his eye on.
"That's right, that's the rule." Geto acknowledged it. "It's called a 'Promotion Assessment.' But with your current strength, plus that new shikigami capable of contending with a Special Grade Cursed Womb, handling a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit mission would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"
He stopped walking and waited for Lu Ping
